OK, I've reproduced this. Adding my notes here: * After alt+tab, focus is successfully put back to the app. It works with touch apps. * In the case of gedit, the focus *is* being put back to gedit, however, inside the XMir container the focus gets messed up. * after alt+tab back to gedit, the arrow keys are still functional, pressing left/right/down/up will navigate to the menu
=> This makes me think that pressing the alt key, for the alt+tab, will also cause the xmir app to act on it and with that focus the menu bar. Following that, a single alt press inside the app should unfocus the menu bar and allow typing in gedit again. Testing that on my N7 with BT keyboard confirms this. Now I'm not 100% sure yet if this is an issue in unity or the xmir container. Will try to figure what the correct behaviour should be. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity8 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1532862 Title: [Avila] keyboard input lost after app switching Status in The Avila project: New Status in Canonical System Image: New Status in canonical-pocket-desktop: New Status in Mir: New Status in qtmir package in Ubuntu: New Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Steps: Open Gedit from puritine v0.5 in Desktop mode type something in a document Use alt-tab to switch to another app, example scope window Use alt-tabl to switch back to gedit.
